‘The Hearn Collection 
Of Old and Modern Art 


\ Fine Group of XVIIIth Century English Paintings—The 


American School in 


Good Form—Ivories 


and Porcelains 


By Royal 


The late George A. Hearn was a man! 
f warm and sympathetic nature, quick 
a helpful ways, altogether sanguine 
nd generous. These humune traits re- 
cted upon his proceedings as a collec- 
or. He bought works of art wholly 
ecauso he liked them, not as invest- 
rents; he bought lavishly and some- 
imes impulsively, Considering in its 
angth and breadth the collection of 
aintings and miscellaneous objects 
shich the executors of his will have 
laced on view at the American Art 
talleries, prior to its dispersal at 


uction, one recognizes immediately the 
rigin it had in a wholehearted en- 
husiasm for art as art, a gusto for 
eautiful things regardless of school or 
ank, Collectors are of very diverse 
ypes. The present writer recalls cer- 
ain connoisseurs of the intensely spe- 
jalized kind, M, Doucet and his mas- 
erpieces of eighteenth century France, 
{. Dreyfus and his Renaissance mar- 
les and medals, Mr. Freer and the cult 
or Oriental antiquity which he has de- 
eloped along with his passion for 
Vhistler and a few other Americans. 
Ir. Hearn had some clearly defined 
astes. There is no mistaking his 
rdor for American painting, for Sir 
oshua and his circle and for ancient 
vories. But all the time that he was 
nteresting himself in these matters 
.e was ranging over illimitable fields 
icking up old masters of every period 
nd school, and collecting many of the 
noderns, English, Dutch, French and 
oon. He was an eclectic if ever there 
yas one, and whether from his very 
vatholicity or from the impulsiveness 
iforementioned, he not infrequently 
‘ound himself with a poor picture on 
iis hands. But this never dulled his 
nstinct for fine things. The negligible 
‘anvases in the present exhibition are 
nowerless to obscure the remarkable 
yody of good paintings it contains. 

A judicious scheme ef hanging has 
soncentrated in the first large room 
nost of the leading old masters in the 
sollection. The British school prevails, 
vet, if there is one canvas which more 
chan any other gloriously distinguishes 
che place, it is the big Guardi, the “Sea- 
sort and Classic Ruins in Italy,” which 
-he fates ought promptly to bestow 
apon the Metropolitan Museum. It is 
1 museum picture, because of its scale 
and monumental character; but, as -t 
happens, it contains the subtlest es- 
sence of the Venetian master, illustrat- 


ing as eloquently as any of his smaller, ' 


more spontaneous, works the sincere 
and delicately luminous 


of composition. Study of it will reveal 
:o the observer the reason why Guardi 
has so often been cited as a forerunner 
of the impressionists. It is a very 
modern sort of luadscape truth that is 
fused with the beauty of this picture. 
Facing it is the celebrated version of 
Gainsborough’s “Blue Boy,” which has 
always been a subject of debate, and 
on which the catalogue frankly reports 
all the well known dubieties of criti- 
vism. These dubieties are impossible 
to ignorc; they are natural and inevi- 
table, especially for the commentator 
who has made a careful examination 
of tho “Blue Boy” at Crosvenor House. 
It is said that within the last few 
months the Duke of Westminster has 
had $300,000 offered to. him for his 
painting, that he held out for $400,000, 
and that two American collectors have 
declined it at that figure. If this is 
true, we can only express surprise that 
the portrait was not immediately sold 
over here. It is a thrilling piece of 
painting, as consummately character- 
istic of Gainsborough as the “Perdita 


naturalism ; 
anderlying his rather theatrical type: 


Cortissoz 


More protean it was done in 1769, 
when urney got the Oxford degree 
implied in his costume. Reynolds him- 
self would then have been in his prime, 
using his brush with ease and enargy. 
The broad, robust character of the 
portrait is exhilarating. The version 
of his “Age of Innocence,” that picture 
in the National Gallery which is prob- 
ably the most popular of all his studies 
of children, is a first rate replica, The 


other Sir Joshuas are interesting with- 
out being impressive. The “Lady 
Spencer” (in one of the upper gal- 
leries) has his accustomed elegance, 
but the hands are weak. The best of 
the three Romneys is the three-quarter 
length of “Miss Hollingsworth,” typi- 
cal in composition and even more char- 
acteristic in the suave painting of ihe 
lovely head. Hoppner’s “Miss Denison” 
is a charming thing, and a little amus- 
ing, by the way, in the prophecy which 
it embodies, the Reeve acy of one of 
Sir Thomas Lawrence's favorite for- 
mulas. Beechey, who every now and 


Robinson” of the Wallace collection, 
and that is Gainsborough raised to the 
nth power. It is the competition of the 
Grosvenor House version which does 
more than any of the obscurities' and 
puzzlements of historical research to 
challenge the prestige of the Hearn 
portrait. One of the guesses about ther 
atter, duly recorded in the catalogue, 
is that Hoppner painted it, having had 
he original in his possession at.one 
ime, with every opportunity to make 
copy of it. However this may be, the 
rucial point lies in the handling. 
ainsborough’s “feathery” touch is 
issing from the figure. His bravura 
in the treutment of landscape is in no 
ise manifested in the cold _ back- 
ground. On the other hand, an impor- 
tant fact remains to be reckoned with 
—-namely, that there never would have 
been any argument about the two ver- 
sions at all if this one had not hap- 
pened to be x very handsome portrait. 

The portraiture otherwise represented 
in this room raises no “historic 
doubts.” It is the characteristic por- 
traiture of England and the Low Coun- 
tries, that kind of formal, dignified 
painting which seems profoundly aca- 
demic beside our modern productions, 
‘entirely impersonal as compared with 
the work of, say, Whistler or Sargent, 
but possessed of a serene distinction 
to which the connoisseur will always 
gratefully return. It is interesting to 
note, moreover, how the personal force 
of the master invariably makes.itself 
felt through even the courtliest of 
conventions. Take, for example, the 
“Dy, Charles Burney,” by Reynolds, 
The catalogue mentions that it wus 
exhibited at the Royul Academy in 
1781, but it must have been painted 
years before, since it shows the father 
of the immortal Fanny as a young man, 


then turns up in the exhibitions to 
excite surmises as to why he is not 
given better rank in the British hier- 
archy, is particularly well represented. 
“The Horsley Children” is a capital 
picture. And Zoffany, another minor 
figure, may be seen in a “Portrait of 
a Lady” of quite exceptional merit. It 
is a kind pf echo of Gainsborough and 
has a sweetness that is without a trace 
of mawkish taint, The “Lady Stan- 
hope,” by Cotes, is too big a canvas, 
too much of a.“parade” piece, to com- 
municate his usual charm, but it has a 
certain stately distinction, like the 
similarly proud full length of “Anne 
Hyde, Duchess of York,” painted by 
Sir Peter Lely. Both these canvases 
illustrate the successful effect that is 
to be got out of shcer scale. 

A few Jandscapes aro scattered 
among the portraits, admirable pieces 
by Solomon Ruisdael and Old Crome; 
there is a fine Canaletto—the “Ponte 
della Canareggie”—and of the two Mor- 
lands the “Noonday Rest” is to be 
cordially noted. The single Turner, 
hig “Fitz Alan Chapel, Arundel,” is also 
a useful factor in the ensemble. But 
in this part of the show special signifi- 
cance attachos to the numerous exam- 
ples of old Dutch and Flemish por- 
traiture. The large “Family Group,” 
by Van der Helst, supplies perhaps the 
best touchstone, a sterling specimen 
of the simple merits belonging to a 
bourgeois yet somehow distinguished 
school. Mr. Hearn had a marked predi- 
lection for these pecullarly human and 
sympathetic canvases. Downstairs, 
where the Van der Helst hangs, there 
are several works of kindred value, 
notably the two portraits of a beruffed 
gentleman and his wife (Nos. 831 and 
382) modestly catalogued as school 
pieces, but strong enough to deserve a

is Impossible ta traverse, them in de- 
tail. One may note, simply, :the pres- 
ence of excellent examples of such ya- 
ried: individualg as Bol end Coello 
Mignard and Brvyn, the Pourbuses and 
Drouais. Shining forth among all these 
immobile souvenirs of the older régime 
is the tense, precise portrait of “Juan 
Manuel Alvarez de Faria,” by Goya, a 
superb page from.the more polished 
annals of the brilliant eighteenth cen- 
tury Spaniard. 


Apropos of things Spanish, there is 
an artist here vividly reminding us of 
Mr, Hearn’s readiness to depart from 
the beaten paths when he saw a good 
thing beckoning to him. This is the 
minor master ‘of Madrid, Frvncisco 
Collantes, who was born in the same 
year as Velasquez. He is unknown 
compared with that portent, but his 
“Flight Into Egypt,” in the present 
collection, is pjquantly suggestive of 
the surprise sometimes concealed be- 
hind the mournful appellation of “Ig- 
noto.” It dogs not matter that the 
blacks are a little oppressive. The 
scene as a whole is wonderfully dra- 


THE GAINSBOROUGH BLUE BOY 


(From the painting in the Hearn collection) 


matic. Mr. Hearn, we gather, was 
stirred by him. He acquired another 
Collantes, the long, narrow “Landscape 
and Figures,” which, again, is not a 
great picture, but has an undeniable 
quality. The miscellaneous old mas~ 
ters, if we may so describe them, most 
persuasively assert themselves in just 
this way, at odd moments here and 
there, and not always through any po- 
tency of established renown. Thus the 
luminous, even sparkling, “Cattle and 
Landscape” of Philippe de Louther- 
bourg has a delightful salience denied 
to some of its far more pretentious 
companions, Another picture that re- 
ujires to be sought out—it is in the 
urthest room—is the religious subject 
by Antonio del Castillo, the “Plaiting 
the Crown of Thorns,” a striking work 
a a little known pupil of Zurbaran. 
The Italian pictures, mostly acceptable 
school pieces, form a fair contingent, 
but are subordinate to the English and 
Dutch group. 


In the modern wing, which occupies 
a great deal of the space in the up- 
per galleries, one thinks first of the 
good luck that Mr, Hearn had in find- 
ing so many beautiful pictures and 
then, looking further into the matter, 
one is even more attracted by a per- 
sonal trait disclosed, We have spoken 
of his gusto. There is evidence here 
of a peculiarly winning characteristic 
in a collector, his swift response to 
new appeals, his curiosity and his will- 
ingness to back up that curiosity by 
support of the artists producing it, Mr. 
Hearn was not drawn by all the 
modern movements. He does not ap- 
pear to have concerned himself with 
the Impressionists, or with the Whist- 
lerians, and he refused to have any 
traffic whatever with the fantastic in- 
novators of recent years. But he was 
interested-in the younger men every 
where, when they were to be taken se-, 
riously, and his collection admirably 
shows this. The “Evening in the| 
Desert,” study of lions in a beautiful, 
landscape, is one of the finest can- 
vases J. M. Swan ever painted, Orpen, 
Morrice, Lavery, Horne), aro all well 
represented, and there are fewer than) 
five paintings- by the brilllant Scotch 
etcher, D, Y. Cameron. The threo land- 
scapes by this artist are not, to be sure, 
especially ingratiating, but we rejoice 
in the taste that led Mr, Hearn to ac- 
quire the two Maris-like figure pieces 
“Lillian,” a study in brown and scarlet 


and ‘Wild Roses,” an arrangement in 
subdued black and white. The doriva- 
tion from:Maris is obvious, but the 
witchery of these canvases is too yen- 
uine to be attributed to anything save 
Cameron’s instinctive gift. 

Mr. Hearn POnERS some French and 
English pictures, landscapes and figury 
pieces, which presumably belong to his 
earlier years as u collector, and suggest 
an interest in subject colors, but from 
these Camerons, as from many other 
canvases, it is plain that as he went 
on he was beguiled more and more by 
ae painting. The same impression 
& conveyed by the group of Barbizon 
and more or less related paintings. 
The great names are here, but not in 
stereotyped examples. The Corots are 
the noble classical composition, ‘Le 
Joueur de Flute” and the charming 
“Girl Reclining.” The three Daubignys, 
all good, include his huge gray ‘‘Ma- 
rine,” a sombrely magnificent canvas. 
Diaz, Dupré, Decamps are present in 
creditable aspects. There are four fine 
peintings by Monticelli, and one of 
them is the vast; sunny “Triumph of 
Flora,” which for so long a time made 
a resplendent space in the old Cottier 
gallery. Mr, Hearn must have had 
courage to buy that immense decora- 
tion, And he must have had a rich 
vein of discernment to buy the land- 
scape by Monticelli, (No. 183) in the 
first of Me smaller rooms upstairs, In 
works like this, in fact, beautiful ex- 
amples of painter’s painting, the col- 
lection is all the time revealing itself 
to advantage. Witness the eight or ten 
sketches by Boudin, the little picture 
by Jongkind, the “Windy Day” by V. 
ce Ville, the “Nautilus Shell” by Vol- 
lon, the “Avenue d’Orleans” by Raf- 
fuelli, and so on through a considera- 
ble list. Some of the prizes of this 
sale will be discovered among the 
smaller, nominally less “important” 
paintings. 

The American school, having the 
great upper room to itself, suggests 
the idea which we have already ex- 
pressed regarding Mr. Hearn's collec- 
tion, the idea of a miniature museum. 
And it is not such a “miniature” 
museum, either. There are 139 pictures 
here. Eight Wyants, of different 
periods, illustrate the fine sentiment 
and delicate ekill of that pioneer, and 
his comrade, George Inness, is repre- 
sented by three works which admi- 
rably commemorate the essential pas- 
sages in his career, The “Berkshire 
Hills” is an early picture, typical of 
his tighter” but still massive man- 
ner. In the late “Wood Gatherers” we 
see him at his apogee, a kind of orches- 


_ tral master of color and synthesized 


forms. The little Italian study, ‘Near 
Perugia," done casually on mill board, 
affords a glimpse into his workshop, 
showing us the constructive fundamen- 
tals of his art. Homer Martin’s curi- 
ous, tempermental quality affirms it- 
self in “A Glimpse of the Sea.” one of 
the most original of his compositions. 
There is a panel of half a dozen Blake- 
locks, all interesting, and one of them, 


‘the dark russet and blue “Landscape” 
‘ (No. 113), looms up with the power of 


a noble Diaz, The late John La Farge 
is happily included in the company, a 
landscape painted in the early 80’s 
recalling his quality of style in a vein 
of impressive simplicity. 

The older men come inevitably into 
the foreground, but they do not by 
any means dominate. Mr, Hearn fad 
a constant interest in our landscape 
tradition. The pictures by Wyant and 
Innesg are followed by those of D. W. 
Tryon and J, Francis Murphy, the col- 
lected paintings uy Charles Melville 
Dewey, George ~. Bogert, H. W,. 
Ranger and Theodore Robinson. There 
are four pictures by Robinson, every 
one of them full of his rare talent. 
The important figure piece, the “Girl 
Sewing,” is among them, Dewing is 
represented by an early nude, “The 
Sorceress,” a piece which well indi- 
cates the knowledge of drawing and 
modelling upon which his exquisite art

intrinsic merit. In such works the 
American section is particularly rich. 
Mr. Hearn had a way of giving a nota- 
ble American painting to the Metro- 
politan or some other museum. Ilvre 
are quantities of the fine performances 
which, if not precisely adapted to that 
purpose, are if anything better calcu- 
lated for the more modest galleay, 
paintings by Horatio Walker, Robert 
L. Newman, C. H. Davis, F. W. Kost, 
Louis P, Dessar and a dozen others, 
They are well painted, likable things. 
With this collector, as with Dr. John- 
son’s philosophical interlocutor, “cheer- 
fulness was always creeping in.” 

We have but little space left in which 
to survey the remaining objects which 
testify to his energy and zeal, Furni- 
ture, rugs, bronzes and porcelains fill 
much of the space, The porcelains em- 
brace some good single color glazes and 
a distinguished array of Hawthorn jars, 
In the domain of ivories he was insati- 
able, assembling a fairly bewildering 
mass of statuettes and other carvings 
of all epochs. These curios range from 
antique simplicity to Renaissance flam- 
boyance, from the avetere forms of the 
Consular Diptych, in the time of Mar- 
cus Aurelius; to the lavish ornamenta- 
tion of German tankards. Some of the 
early French examples strikingly illus- 
trate the genius of medieval sculpture. 
The specialists to whom this part of 
the collection is addressed will be con- 
fronted by an embarassment of riches. 
The specialist in more than one depart- 
ment is here well prepared for, notably 
in the small collection of Roman and 
Arabic iridescent glass, But it is with 
recollection of Mr. Hearn’s catholicity 
that we end, as we began. He cared 
for beautiful things of all kinds. It is 
of such things that his collection is 
composed.

GEORGE A, HEARN ART SALE 


The extensive art collections, feted by 
the late George Arnold Hearn, are to be 
sold at auction by the American Art Asso- 
ciation, probably early in February next, 
A Sia patron of art, and through his 
liberal gifts to the Metropolitan Museum 
Cooper Union, Brooklyn Museum and other 
Institutions, as well as through his gener- 
Osity towards and his recognition of Ameri- 
can artists, it is said that Mr. Hearn did 
more towards the elevation and encourage- 
ment of the fine arts in America than any 
other individual. To the Metropolitan Mu- 
seum, Mr. Hearn gave outright over 100 
representative paintings, including some 
eighty works by American artists, all of 
which are now shown in two large galleries 
there and, in addition, provided a fund of 
$250,000, the income of which is to be used 
in the purchase of paintings by American 
artists. 

The magnitude of the collections is such 
that they will require some ten sessions to 
disperse, including five evening sessions in 
the Plaza ballroom, where the paintings 
only will be sold, 

The cataloging of the collections will re- 
quire the services of experienced 


persons 
and will necessarily consume considerable 
time, and until the catalog is near com- 


pletion, definite dates for the public exhibi- 
tion at the American Art Galleries, and 
dates of the sale will not be announced by 
the American Art Association. But in all 
probability the sale will be held in the 
forepart of the winter season of 1918 


Nearly 500 Paintings 


Mr. Hearn’s paintings number nearly 500 
examples by masters of the ancient and 
modern schools, and the American school 
alone is represented by about 100 works of 
high quality. 

Pictures by artists of the British school 
are second in number to the American sec- 
tion in Mr. Hearn’s collection and include, 
among other important paintings, “The Blue 
Boy,” given to Gainsborough, a work which 
has occasioned considerable discussion, and 
brought forth opinions by students of ea:ly 
English art to the effect that .the Hearn 
“Blue Boy” is the original and that owned 
by the Duke of Westminster is a replica, 
but that both are by Gainsborough. Other 
celebrated English masters are represented 
as follows: Reynolds by “Lady Stanhope,” 
“Dr. Charles Burney,” “Lady spencer,” “Mr, 
Hillyarr,” “The Age of Innocence” and 
“James Paine”; Romney by “Lady Hamilton 
as_a Vestal,” “Miss Eleanor Gordon” and 
“Miss Hollingsworth’; Raeburn Dyes rore 
trait of a Gentleman”; Turner by “Fitz Alan 
Chapel, Arundel’; John Constable bya. ihe 
Valley Farm,” “Deadham Mill,” “George 
Gassard A. R. A.,” “Windsor Castle,” “The 
Farm Cart,” “Landscape, Suffolk’ and 
“Hampstead Heath”; Beechey by ‘Portrait 
of Mrs. Humphrey”; Francis Cotes by 
“Lady Hardwicke” and “Miss Broughton,” 
and Gainsborough, further represented by 
“Lady Sheffield” and “Landscape and 
Cattle.” 

Sir Thomas Lawrence is also represented 
by “Portrait of a Lady,” “Lady Mackenzie” 
and. “Portrait of John Julius Angerstein’”’; 
Hoppner by “Portrait of Miss Denison” and 
Barker of Bath, R. P. Bonington, Cos- 
way, Old Crome, Dobson, Harlow, Sir 
Peter Lely, George Morland, Stark, Wat- 
son-Gordon and Zoffany are all represented 
by one or more character examples, and 
among the modern British painters, D. Y. 
Cameron is exemplified by five works, John 
Lavery by two, J. J. Shannon by three, 
and Swan and Bromley each by a represen- 
tative picture. 


The Italian School 


Although represented by a comparatively 
small number of pictures this section in- 
cludes a remarkably fine Canaletto, “Porte 
della Carmanegio,” an unusually important 
Guardi, “Seaport and Classic Ruins, Italy,” 
and five smaller examples. By Jacopo 
Marieschi there are two fine examples, and 
Albano, Bonifazio, Croce, Il Vecchio, Ricci, 
Il Sassoferrato, Da_ Siena, Tintoretto, 
Veronese, Van Vittelli and Zuccvelli are 
each represented by superior works. 

The old masters of the French school 
include the following works: “Grand Sun- 
set. Genoa,” and “L’Amour et Psyche,” by 


Claude Lorrain, and important portraits and 
landscapes by Danloux, Gascar, De Lairesse, 
De Largilliere, Le Main, Lepicie, Pierre 
Mignard, Poussin, Tocque and Van OG: 
Dutch and Flemish Artists 
Ferdinand Bol, Brughel, Rubens, Gerard 
Dow, Hobema, Hanneman, Janssens, Jan 
Looten, Peter Nason, Pourbus, the elder,

the younger, Van der Neer, Van Ostade, Van 
Ascn, Van Lhulden, Van Bloemen, Van der 
Helst, Verspronck, Jan Victoors and 
Wynants are all well represented. 
The Spanish old masters represented in- 
clude Coello, Collantes, De la Cruz, Goya, 
Je Faria, Saavedra and Zurbaran.

panels, screens, Louis NVI tables and other 
antique furniture of artistic character.

numerous and of rare and fine quality. 


LESSONS OF HEARN SALE 

In the course of a long article on the re- 
cent Hearn picture sale in the current 
(April) issue of the “International Studio, 
Mr. Charles L. Buchanan argues very per- 
tinently, confirming the already expressed 
opinion of the American Art News, that 
the result of said sale proved that American 
art has at last “come into its own. ; 

Mr. Buchanan says in part: 1% - ¢¢-/% 

"The Hearn sale of foreign and American pictures, 
served to fulfil in a sensational and unmistakable 
fashion the belig¢fs and expectations of that small 
minority of persons who have consistently adver- 
tised and advoeated the incomparable merits of 
American painting. The salient feature of the sale 
was the prices brought by American pictures. To 
say as much is merely to record the concrete in- 
vincibility of statistics. The question of personal 
prejudice and personal interpretation has nothing to 
do with the matter, Over and beyond all excres- 
cences of incident and idiosynerasy of opinion, over 
and lyeyond all theoretical disagreements and an- 
tagonisms, one fact of supreme significance projects 
itself—the fact, repeatedly emphasized by the present 
writer, that American painting is the dominant issue 
in the art world of this country today. 


Modern Americans Pass European Works 

“The Hearn sale conclusively demonstrated the 
accuracy of perception possesed and exercised by 
those persons who have realized that America is pro- 
ducing and has produced great art. But it did more. 
It hinted tremendously, if we may so express our- 
selves, of revolutionary conditions and developments 
in the art world; conditions and developments of a 
nature unthinkable a bare half-dozen years ago, The 
spectacle of two houses of fundamentally foreign affil- 
lations, Knoedler & Company and Scott & Fowles, 
competing with each other for the purchase of Ameri- 
can pictures while foreign pictures were allowed to 
go practically unsupported, supplies us with an in- 
calculable indication of the essential gist of things. 
And this essential gist of things is, if we correctly ap- 
prehend it, something as follows: Foreign art of 
whatever period and of whatever nationality must 
stand or fall in the future on its merits alone. It 
can rely no longer upon a spurious prestige. The 
time has gone by when a foreign trade-mark could 
he confidently expected to sell a picture to the Amer- 
ican public.” 

Hearn Foreign Art “Mediocre”? 

“\ question arises: Does all this indicate that an 
unstable public taste has turned, temporarily or per- 
manently as the case may be, against foreign art and 
in favor of American art? We would not go so far 
as to commit ourselves to so crucial a decision, It 
may he argued, for example, that Mr. Tlearn's col- 
ection of foreign paintings was mediocre. Towever 
this may he, it is probable that his foreign art would 
vave brought higher prices six years age than it 
rrought in the sale recently concluded. 


Some Personal Opinions 


The remainder of Mr. Buchanan's reada- 
rle article, which space limitations will not 
yermit of republishing in toto, discusses the 
relative merits of certain of Mr, Hearn’s 
foreign and American pictures and his per- 
sonal opinion of the prices paid for some 
examples of both, He notes that while 
Daubigny’s “On the Oise” brought the high- 
est figure paid for any foreign picture in the 
sale—namely, $8,200—a Wyant brought 
$21,500, a Blakelock $17,500, a Murphy $15.- 
600, and an Inness $30,800, and that a 16x22 
Murphy brought $3,800, as against the $3,500 
paid for an “excellent” Troyon. — 

He thinks that the comparatively low 
price of $875 paid for a Tryon was “a 
legitimate reflex of the picture’s inherent 
deficiency,” is pleased that Ernest Law- 
son's works were admired and congratulates 
the Corcoran Gallery on its acquisition of 
Theo, Robinson's ‘Girl Sewing.” 


Senator Clark’s Murphy 


Mr. Buchanan believes that “ex-Senator 
W. A. Clark rendered J. Francis Murphy 
singular disservice in paying for the latter's 
landscape the preposterous price of $15,600, 
but says that “the Senator temporarily rati- 
fied the absurd notion, prevalent among 
dealers, that Murphy’s art ceased 16 years 
ago, when, as a matter of fact, it only began 
16 years ago, and his pictures painted pre- 
vious to that period have no standing what- 
soever in the judgments of authentic critics 
Of painting.” He declares there was no 
Murphy in the Hearn collection comparable 
to certain noted examples in the Shepherd, 
Burton and Baldwin collections, and asks: 

“Ts it possible that ex-Senator Clark is the kind 
of buyer that does not hesitate to nay an exorbitant 
price for an indifferent work of art so long as the 
oceas’on lye a conspicuous one? 

Thinks Wyant Overrated 

The $3.600 paid by the Macbeth Galleries 
for a Homer Martin. Mr. Buchanan thinks, 
“approximated something like a just valua- 
tion of the picture’s intrinsic worth,’ and 
he says that 

“The finest Blakelock in the collection ag for Gee 
disnronportionately inconspicuous price of $2,100, 
against the vastly inflated figure of $17,500 paid for 
the same artists ‘Landscape.’ Second in impor: 
tance,” he continues. “to Mr. Clark's unfortunate ex- 
hibition of a taste idiosyncratic. rather than eouitable, 
sivas the $21,500 (bought for Mr. JTacoh Schiff) paid. 
for the large Wyant. We are not one of those for 
whom the name of Wyant is sacrosant, Despite ou 
veneration for the unouestionable integrity of th 
sian’s artistic and spiritual morale, we believe tha 
his art is vastlv overrated, and we believe that a time 
will come when its inherent incomneteney will he 

letected and acknowledged. Wyant was unquestion 
ably the weakest of our early painters. and an en 
Aorsement is accorded him that might better by fa 
he accorded the work of a number of our contem

A MUCH-DISCUSSED PICTURE. 
(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) 


NEW YORK, Marci 3. 

Prices at the sale by the American Art Associatior 
of the art collections of the late Mr. George A. Hearn 
owner of the down-town dry goods store, which begar 
last Monday and will conclude to-morrow, havo ‘fai 
exceeded the most generous estimate. The total yes- 
terday exceeded a million dollars (£200,000). 

The chief lot of the pictures by old masters and 
British artists was the much-discussed version of the 
Duke of Westminster's ‘‘ Blue Boy ” (Master Buttall) 
by Gainsborough, which Mr. Hearn prized above all his 

ictures, and for which ho paid a large sum in 1900. 
The picture had been in America for some years, 
and its former owner, Mr. W. H. Puller, in 1898 
printed an exhaustive pamphlet on tho tival claims of 
the two versions. The picture, which is a whole- 
length life size, was exhibited at Messrs Hogarth’s 
gallery, Mount-strect, Grosvenor-square, London, 
in July, 1870, and caused a great deal of discussion at 
tho time in the press. It is unquestionably a very 
(ine picture, and now sold for $38,000 (£7,600). 4 

Another remarkable price was paid for Turner’s 
‘“ Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel,” which was bought at a 
sale at Christie’s in 1888 for 320 guineas, and now 
again changed hands at the very advanced price otf 
$20,500 (£4,100). A fine Venetian scene by F.. 
Quardi, the entrance to the Grand Canal, with 
numerous gondolas and other boats, brought $10,400 
(£2,080) ; a large picture of classical ruins by thes 
same artist, $5,100 (£1,020), A picture By aH oe 
Bonington sold for $4,800 (£960); a who e-lengtb. 
portrait of Lady Stanhope, by Francis Cotes, $5,300! 
(£1,060) ; two portraits ascribed to Sir Joshua 
Reynolds, Dr. Burney and Lady Spencer, sold 
respectively for $5,000 (£1,000 and $5,300 (£1,060) ; 
Romney’s early portrait of Miss Hollingsworth, a 
three-quarter length, $8,100 (£1,020); a portrait 
of an unknown lady by J. Zoffany, $4,800 (£960) ; 
a group of the Horsley children by Sir William 
Beechey, $4,000 (£800); and a work by George 
Morland of a sow and her young, apparently the 
W. H. Forman picture which sold for 96 guineas at 
Sotheby’s in London in 1899, now fetched $4,200 
gti 24 of Sir Joshua Roynolds’s “ Age of Inno- 
cence,’ bought a good ‘many years ago, sold for 
$4,700 (£940) ; a small version of John Constable's 
“ Valley Farm,” which belongs to Miss Constable, 
brought $2,000 (£400) ; and Tom Mostyn's ‘* Domain 
of Arnheim” heed bi (£600). One of the 

veral pictures by D. Y. Cameron, 

palate os 1910, sold for $2,050 (£410). 
pictures and prices were :—W. Orpen’s On the 
Beach,” $1,050 (£210); Julius Olffon s. Silver 
Night,” $750 (£150) ; Austen Brown's | By the 
River,” $525 (£105); and Harold Stced’s Roses 
and Chintz ''--which was in the Royal Academy in 
1908—S725 (£145). 


HIGH PRICES AT THE: HEARN 
SALE. 


ee 
(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) 
NEW YORK, Fes. 26. 
Phe sale of the extensive art collections of the 
7 Alrpeg ene) A. Hearn, of this city, yh 
wero described in The Times of December 2% 
last, is now being held here by the American Art 
‘Association. AS was anticipated, high prices 
are being realized. A black hawthorn. vas¢ 
fetched $24,000 (£4,800), and a picturo by the 
American artist George Innes, Woo 
CGatherers,”’ $30,800 (£6,160). The works oi 
other American artists included two by. A. iH 
Wyant, “In the Adirondacks,” $21.50( 
(£4,300); and a small summer Ne ace #2 
$10,100 (£2,020) ; a Jandscape by J. F. Murphy 
$15.000 (£3,000): and a landscape by Ralp] 
Blakelock, 817,500 (£3,400). 


The late George A Hearii?*witose’ exten- 


i sive art collections are ow on exhibition 


at the American Art Galleries, where, most 


effectively arranged and displayed under the 
Jadecomplished and experienced direction of 


1 Miss 


Lorenz, they lll not only the nine 
walleries usually devoted to pictures, porce- 
Jamns and furniture, but the three large print 
and bookrooms, and even the salesroom— 
and which are to be sold by Mr. Thomas 
Ik, Wirby of the \imerican Art Association— 
the art properties at the galleries on every 
afternoon of next week, and Monday after- 
noon of March 3, and the pictures in the 
Plaza Hotel ballroom, Monday to Friday 


evenings inclusive, also of nevt week; was 
1ot an ordinary collector, 
This is proven, not only by the wide 


‘ange and variety of his collections—now 
or the first time really known, as they are 
lisplayed at the galleries—even to his host 
of friends whom he delighted to entertain 
it his city residence—and even at his place 
of business, where he kept, not only the 
overflow from his too small house, wall and 
floor space, but even some of his best loved 
treasures, but from the evidence they give 
of a constant and persistent pursuit of art 
from sheer love of the pursnit and the 
subject, not from the mere pride of posses- 
sion and desire to emulate or surpass fellow 
collectors, which, it is to be feared, are the 
inciting cause of much of the collecting of 
art in America. 
A Collector of Art for Pleasure—Not Gain 
From a close acquaintance and friendship 
of many years, the writer can testify to the 
dead collector’s sincere pleasure in search- 
ing after and securing art works from the 
delight he found in them—and the joy of 
capture. He was not a bidder at auction 
sales—he preferred the visit to the studio 
and the artists’ club—the exhibition private 
view, and especially the journeying to 
European art centers, and to such leading 
American exhibitions as the International 
Carnegie in Pittsburgh. In all these places 
ve studied and bought—not works of any 
ane schcol or painter---although he had his 
‘favorites among the older and modern 
schools and artists and artisans, but be- 
cause he liked and found pleasure in a work 
or works. Take, for example, some of his 
last purchases—the clever oils of the modern 


Russian, Nicolas Fechin; the Englishmen, 
Tom Mostyn, David Y. Cameron, E. A. 
Hornel, Hughes-Stanton, Harold Speed, 
Austen Brown and William Orpen: the 
Frenchman, Raphael Collin, and the Spani- 
ard, Jurres, men, save Orpen, not well 


known here and whose works were there- 
fore certainly not bought for investment, 
but because he liked them, The same in- 
centive to acquire, not for names, but for 
personal liking, influenced many of his pur- 
chases of older pictures, as for example, the 
strong landscapes of the little known early 
Spaniard Collantes, and it has been an 
error—a prevalent one in art circles—it 
must be admitted, that Mr. Hearn had not 
sufficient art knowledge to prevent his ac- 
quisition of wrongly or even falsely at- 
tributed art works at times. 

Starting with a love of art, he acquired, in 
time, and through constant study, a more 
than ordinary knowledge, and while, of 
course, he made mistakes and did purchase 
wrongly attributed and, it is to be feared, 
falsely attributed works now and then—any 
fair minded, competent person must frankly 
admit, after a careful study of his vast pos- 
sessions as now diplayed, that the good 
far outweigh the poor among them. There 
have been and will be carping critics of 
some of the pictures, the ivories, pottery and 
porcelains, and other objects to be dispersed 
next week in this most unusual sale, and the 
auction of the season—but who among col- 
lectors could have amassed collections of 
such wide range and variety, and among 
which are so many real treasures, and made 
fewer mistakes than did Mr. Hearn? 

Services to American Art 

But apart from Mr dlearn’s standing as 
an art collector, \merican art and artists, 
American muscums and the cause of art in 
general in the United States, owe Mr. Hearn 
a debt of gratitude which can never be 
sufficiently appreciated, Tle was in truth an 
art patron and benefactor, always ready to 
respond to the call of art and art upbuild- 
ing in this country How many other 
American collectors of the few here who 
ranged afield in their collecting bought and 
supported American art as he did? The 
Metropolitan Museum—of which he was for 
many years a trustee—owes, chiefly, to Mr. 
Hearn, its interest in and acquisition of 
American pictures—and art in general 
made possible. after long years of neglect

trustees, His gift of a most superior collec- 
tion of American pictures to the museum, 
and his creation and bequest of a fund for 
the purchase of American pictures and 
their upkeep, in the museum by Mr. Hearn, 
followed and kept pace with his persistent 
advocacy of American art, and the necessity 
of its acquisition bs the museum, to his 
fellow trustees. He proved his faith by his 
works, and it is gratifying to record that 
his finest pictures, taken as a whole group, 
and the sale of which will be the feature of 
the coming auction, are by modern Ameri- 
can painters. 
Wide Range of Collection 
_ It is of course impossible in a single art- 
icle and, with limited space, to give even 
an idea of the variety and interest of the 
Hearn collections. The handsome catalog 
de luxe, in which the many thousand items 
are well described by competent writers and 
students, and the more striking of which 
are beautifully illustrated, is in itself a 
study of days. No art collections have ever 
come oi the N. Y, market which excel 
those of Mr. Hearn in range and variety. 
The Much Discussed “Blue Boy” 


It has been thought wise to give, as the 
frontispiece of the Arr News this week, a 
Teproduction of the well known Picture, 
entitled ‘The Blue Boy,” for familiar as it 
is through countless reproductions, public 
interest will centre in its auction fate. 
Whether, as the late William H, Fuller, at 
the sale of whose pictures, Feb. 23, 1898, 
Mr. Hearn purchased the canvas for $50,000 
believed, and as Mr, Hearn firmly believed 
to his death, this picture is the Original 
“Portrait of Master Buttall,” better known 
as “The Blue Boy,” by Gainsborough, or 
another version by his master hand of the 
similar work owned by the Duke of Devon- 
shire, or, as has been argued, a copy by no 
less a hand than that of Hoppner, or even 
by some lesser brush, of the Devonshire 
Picture, may never be known, but that the 
Hearn canvas is a striking and impressive 
One cannot be gainsaid. It is generally 
believed that Gainsborough first showec 
“The Blue Boy” at the Royal Academy ol 
1770 and the earliest mefition of the work 
is found in Jackson’s essay on Gainsbor. 
ough, published ten years after the artist’s 
death, where it is spoken of as “already fa- 
mous.” Edward Edwards, in his sketch o 
Gainsborough in his “Anecdotes of Paint 
ers,” published in 1808, says the work “i: 
now in the possession of Mr. Hoppuer,’ 
which gives credence to the theory tha 
Hoppner copied, as well he might havc 
been tempted to do, so fine a subject. 

There has never been any question as tc 
the authenticity of the Devonshire “Bluc 
Boy.” and so the question remains: Whe 
painted the Fuller-Hearn version? The 
controversy over this picture, which has 
raged for many years, will be again revived 
by its present offering for sale. 

Early English Pictures 

Of the other early English pictures in 
the Hearn collections, some are of unusual 
quality, but they vary much in merit. The 
works of the Norwich school, two of the 
seven examples of Constable, two of the 
five Boningtons, Cotes’ “Lady Stanhope,” 
Raeburn's “Portrait of a Gentleman,” the 
soft-toned church interior, by the great 
Turner, and Reynolds’ “Dr, Burney” are 
perhaps the best. 

Works by Early Continental Masters 


Of the early Continental schools there 
are several examples, notably, two of AI- 
bani, typical in color, a ‘Portrait of an Art- 
ist,” given_to Ferdinand Bol, two Bonifa- 
zios, two Coellos, two examples of the old 
Spanish landscapist. Collantes, a Gerard 
Dou. a fair Goya portrait, three large and 
superior Guardis (one, “Ruins with Fig- 
ures,” beautiful in quality), a Palma Vec- 
chio, a Pourbus, several examples of the 
old Dutchman, Van de Helst, Van der 
Neer, Van de Velde, Van Goyen, van Os- 
lade, Verspronek, Victoors and Jan Wy- 
nants, which are worthy of attention, 

Modern Foreign Canvases 

The modern foreign schools are 
well represented, notably by a_ splendid 
group of ten Boudins, two Brascassats. 
three Cazins, a figure Corot, three Coutures 
(including his famous large composition. 
“Love Drives the World”), two of three

three Dupres, a Fromentin, two tiaipry

ind a figure), two Michels, a Pasini, a Poks- 
tinow, a Raffaelli, a Ribot, a Roybet, two 
Troyons, a Ziem and a Zorn. 

There are, of the modern Dutchmen, 
examples of Kever (4), Jacob and William 
Maris, Mauve (cattle), Neuhuys, Israels 
and Weissenbruch, while of other nationali- 
ties, not already mentioned, one_ finds 
Thaulow, Olsson, Cabat, Courbet, Fechin, 
Lerolle, Albert Lynch, Marilhat, Meunier. 
Shannon and Vollon, all well represented. 


The Modern Americans 


Lastly, one comes to the really remark- 
able group of oils by modern Americans, 
a school in which Mr. Hearn much de- 
lighted, and whose dispersion, if one is not 
mistaken, will perhaps prove the feature of 
the sale. Seldom have so many really su- 
perior works by the best among our native 
painters some to the auction block. While 
Mr. Hearn favored certain painters, his 
taste was catholic in American art. George 
Bogert, who was from a youth his protégé, 
is represented by no less than 32 examples, 


which well show the range of his good art. 
The panel of six Blakelocks, among them 
the “Moonlight and Clouds,” and the “Land- 
scape at Sunset,” will excite lively compe- 
tition, as will also the equally fine panel of 
eight Wyants, all of his best period, the 
“Wood Gatherers” of George Inness and his 
two other examples, the two Homer Mar- 
tins and especially the five splendid Mur- 
phys. Other Americans well exampled are 
Bunce, Emil Carlsen (his Academy picture, 
“The Surf’), Bruce Crane (2), Dainger- 
field, Dannat, Charles H. Dayis, Dearth, 
Dessar (3), Dewey, Dewing, August_Fran- 
zen (5), B, R. Fitz, Gauley, Swain Gifford, 
Hassam, Hawthorne, George Hitchcock, 
Alfred C, Howland (7), George Inness, Jr., 
Jongers, Kost, La Farge, Louis Loeb, Wull 
H. Low, Thomas Moran, Naegele, Nisbet, 
Ranger, Rehn, Theodore Robinson (4), Sar- 
tain, Smedley, Snell, Alice Kent Stoddard, 
Tryon (3), Horatio Walker, Edwain Lord 
Weeks (7), Guy and Carleton Wiggins and 
Irving Wiles. 
Other Art Properties 


The art properties of Mr. Hearn, out- 
side his pictures, are sO numerous, so va- 
ried and of so many different kinds, that 
it would require pages to even attempt to 
describe or detail them. Suffice it to say 
that it will take an entire afternoon, that of 
Monday next, to dispose of the jades, lac- 
quers, enamels and cabinet objects alone; 
Tuesday afternoon to disperse the old Chi- 
nese blue and white and decorated porce- 
lains, and European and Oriental bronzes, 
while on Wednesday the sale of the antique 
single color porcelains, will take several 
hours. Y : 

The large and remarkable collection of 
ivory carvings will consume the afternoons 


nursday and Friday, while Saturday. 
Spaatee will be devoted to the dispersion 
of the decorated Oriental and other pores 
lains, and the furniture, Oriental rugs an 
embroideries. Even the afternoon ot ti 
day, Mar. 4, will have to be given to the 


winding up of this unique sale, with the 
dispersion of the miniatures, snuff boxes, 
European ceramics, Greek and Roman 


glass, Hispano-Moresque plates and miscel- 
eous objects. 
pare? be remembered that vast as are 
the properties to be sold next week, that 
Mr. Hearn had before his death given sev: 
eral collections of art objects to the Mere 
politan Museum, and that Mrs. ee8 be 
queathed the same Institution the larg: 
collection of watches left her by her hus 


baud. James B. Townsend.

CHEER FOR THE ART WORLD 

The result of the sale at auction of 
the art properties of the late George 
re Hearn, with the totals of two. see 
sions of the dispersal of the art objects, 
this and Monday afternoons, to. still 
be added is sufficiently large today to 
rank the entire sale as one of the most 
successful of its kind ever held in this 
country. 

-\nd this result has come in a period 
ot unprecedented depression in the art 
world in this country, due to the war 
and the conditions it has brought, and 
has confounded the predictions of the 
pessimists who have for weeks argued 
that the event would be a failure. 

Psychologically the Hearn sale re- 
sult is the best possible that could have 
happened to American art interests at! 
this time, apart from its financial sue- 
cess. It proves, as we have argued for 
many years, that good art is not only | 
an education but one of the best pos- 
sible investments, and it has directed 
the attention and thoughts of the art 
public and of the public at large, which 
had been scemingly turned away from 
any idea of art purchasing or study, 
back again to the subject. An analysis 
of the prices brought at the sale will 
emphasize our argument as to the wis- 
dom of purchasing good art works. 
When an American picture like George 
Inness’ “Wood Gatherers,” purchased 
tor $2,000 in 1891, only 27 years ago, 
and sold at auction in 1899, only 19 
years ago, for $5,600, can appreciate in 
that short period to $30,800, when a 
living artist like J. Francis Murphy can 
sec one of his landscapes sold to Mr. 
Flearn a few years ago for $300, bring 
$15,600 and when a Wyant sells for 
$21,000, a Blakelock for $17,500 (and 
notva record eprice), etc. .is it notes 
cause for rejoicing by all lovers of their 
country when they realize that our na- 


| tive art has at last “come into its own’? 


It was only 32 years ago, or in March, 
1886, that the sale for $25,000, also by 
Mr. Kirby, the auctioneer of the Hearn 
treasures at Chickering Hall of Vibert’s 
“Missionary’s Story” to the late C. P. 
Huntington for $25,000, and of Jules 
Breton’s “Communicants” at the same 
Mary J. Morgan sale for $33,500 to a 
Mr. \Watson, made a sensation the 
world over, and now American pictures 
pass those figures at auction. 

The Hearn heirs and the auctioneers 
are to be congratulated upon the suc- 
cess, especially at such a time in our 
history, of this week’s remarkable art 
sale, but the art lovers of America and 
the world are the most to be congratu- 


‘lated, for the belief in art as an invest-’ 


nent and ‘an edvication has been, 
through this event, more than con- 
firmed and strengthened.

_ ART SEASON’S REVIVAL 

As we predicted last week, the unex 
pected success, on the whole, of the art 
auction thus far of the season—that of 
the Hearn collections, and especially 
its proof of the phenomenal rise in 
values of modern American landscapes, 
has brought life and hope to an art 
season which, while marked by unusual! 
activity in the matter of exhibitions. 
has not until now been one of financia! 
activity or good business. 

Ever since the sale the dealers’ gal- 
leries and studios, not only in New 


York, but throughout the country 
have been well patronized and the 


psychological effect of the sale, whick 
we noted last week, in turning the 
thoughts and attention of the art. 
loving and buying public again to the 
subject of art has been most notice. 
able. 

This result has also proven tha: 
iarge and important art auction sale: 
are, especially in a dull season, mort 
beneficial than hurtful to the art trade 
Now comes the announcement that the 
Bardini sale of early and Renaissance 
rt objects postponed from last De- 
cember, and which might not have been 
1eld at all this season, had it not been 
‘or the Hearn sale success, will take 
lace in early April. This will give 
inother fillip to the then waning sea- 
son, Which, as it now looks, may end 
is happily as it opened gloomily. 


SALE OF AMWKIVAN ART . 
COLLECTION.2)-/2.19, 


—_—_—— 


THE RIVAL “BLUE BOYS.” 


We.are informed by a telegram from a specia] 
correspondent in New York that the extensive art 
collections of the late George A, Hearn will be sold 
by Mr. Thomas KH. Kirby, of the American Art Gal- 
leries, New York, next February, 

Mr. Hearn, who was the owner of a big dry goods 
store in that city, died four years ago, a biographical 
notice appearing in The T'imes of December 3, 1913, 
He left a fortune of over £1,400,000. The death of 
his widow in April last has given the executors ‘of the 
estate full control of the art collections, and a public 
sale has been decided upon. 

Mr. Hearn was for many years. well known in 
Kurope, and especially in England, as a keen collector 
of pictures. He was a Trustee of the Metropolitan 
Museum in New York, to which he had long been a 
generous contributor, giving it pictures of the esti- 
mated value of £100,000 and a sum of £50,000, the 
interest of which was to be devoted to the purchase 
of works by living American artists. His private 
collection filled his house at 46, East 69th Street, and 
covered many of the walls in his greatstore, 

There are in all several hundred pictures by ancient 
and modern artists, and these will be sold b Mr. 
Kirby in the ball room of tho Plaza Hotel uring 
five evening sessions, while the ivory carvings (of which 
Mr. Hearn had w large collection) will, with other 
objects of art, be sold on five afternoons in the gal- 
leries of the American Art Association in Madison- 
square. ‘he pictures include many fine things. 
Mr. Hearn perhaps cherished most his much-discussed 
version of Gainsborough’s “ Blue Boy’ (Master 
Buttall), of which another version belongs to the 
Duke of Westminster, and is generally accepted as 
unquestionably the work of Gainsborough himself. 
The picture in the Hearn collection was exhibited a 
Messrs. Hogarth’s galleries, Mount-street, Grosvenor- 
square, in July, 1870; it attracted a great deal of 
attention. At an interval of some years it was 
acquired by Mr. W. H. Fuller, who made exhaustive 
researches into the history of his version, and printed 
& monograph on the subject, His collection was sold 
in New York on Februagy, 25, 1898, when the “ Blue 
Boy” failed to reach the reserve of, we believe, 


£10,000. There can be no doubt that the 
picture, which was acquired privately by 
Mr. Hearn after tho Fuller gale, | will again 


excite much interest and provoke keen discussion, 

Besides a large number of pictures, chiefly por- 
traits, by artists of the Early English school, there 
are examples of modern English and French artists, 
and a great number by modern American artists. 
These were purchased chiefly from the artists them- 
selves, when their pictures were to be had at a few 
hundred dollars each.. For some years past American 
art has found favour with home collectors, and prices 
have gone up accordingly. 


NATIVE ART APPRECIATES 
The sale at the cecoud sess‘on of the 
Hearn auction at the Plaza, Abeer 
ning last, of “The Wood Gatherers of 
George Inness for $30,800, of hg Francis 
Murphy’s “Landscape” for ; $15,600, _ ot 
Wyant’s “In the Adirondacks” for $21,500, 
of Blakelock’s “Landscape” for $17,500, and 
of a figure work by Theodore Robinson for 
$5,000, all record prices for the work of 
these men, save for Blakelock, whose 
“Moonlight” brought $20,000 a year ago, 
was not only emphatic proof that the best 
modern native art has at last “come into 
its own,” but also that the judgment of the 
earlier buyers and collectors of the best 
American pictures was sound. They have 
never lost their faith in the sure and great 
appreciation of values in such works and 
their reward has come, fortunately to some, 
faetiiverr lhe time. eee oan } 
What must have been the emotions, for 
example, of that sincere and deservedly 
successful collector of modern Americans, 
Mr. Thomas B. Clarke, when he saw the 
really great Inness, a canvas painted and 
dated 1891, for which he paid some $2,000, 
the prevailing price of works by the master 
of this size at that period, and which sold 
in the Clarke auction of 1899 for $5,600 to 
Mr. Hearn, receive a first bid of $25,000 on 
Tuesday night last, and finally sell to Scott 
Fawles for the record price, not only 
for an dinness. but. for sia -\nremedn, pies
